American, out of New York City. Golden Sphinx belonged to Rock musician and producer Curtis Knight. It had quite a long life in its native land, but seems to have issued just the one single in Britain. Pure Hell's 'These Boots Are Made For Walking' (GSX-002; 8/79) attracted some attention: the band, which was based in Philadelphia, is reputed to have been the first all-black Punk group, though the American and British ideas of Punk Rock were somewhat different. The catalogue number is the same as that of the American issue. Distribution over here was by Spartan.
